THE HIDDEN BATTLE: MINISTERING TO THOSE WHO MINISTER

Trent Loos, Pastor Jeff Weiss, and Luke Tibor welcome Jody Coombs of Standing Stone Ministry to discuss a mission few talk about: ministering to those who minister. Jody shares insight into the emotional and spiritual toll placed on today’s pastors and church leaders—those expected to pour into others while often running on empty themselves. The conversation dives deep into the pressures ministers face, especially when they feel ill-equipped, isolated, or unsupported. How long does the average minister last in their calling? Why do so many walk away quietly? From the stress of spiritual leadership to the hidden loneliness of the pulpit, this episode reveals the realities behind the collar—and the hope that ministries like Standing Stone provide.
